Hi Group! Can some of you give advice on your seat and shoulder beltinstallation? I lowered the rear seat bottom about one inch and myshoulders are still four inches above the turtle deck when seated on acushion. I understand a shoulder belt should have a slope of less than 15degrees to avoid vertical compression injuries to the spine in a crash. What advice do you all have for the front and rear cockpits?Thanks,Tom__________________________________________________________________________________________
